Bikie Wars: Brothers in Arms

I'm Not An MC I Wear A Cut But I Put Random Patches Not MC Colors The Bandidos Did not Have The Mexican Hat With Two Guns They Had The The Name And The Fat Mexican And Where They From Back In The 80s And The Bandidos Color Are Yellow And Red Not Yellow And Black Now Caesar Had A SGT AT ARMS But Also Had An Enforcer You Can Have Either A SGT AT ARMS Patch Or An Enforcer Patch But You Can't Have Both I'm 21 years Old I Know What I'm Talking About Shows OK But The Colors On The Characters Cuts Does Not Make Sense St All.

Overall I found this series to be quite good. The characters are believable and fairly true to the 1%ers I know.

I however find the absolute disregard for helmet laws to be very immersion breaking, helmet laws in Aus came in during 1961 (Jan 1st 1961) and the real 1%ers I know did not disregard the helmet laws (it wasn't worth the police hassle), especially considering this is set during the late 70's early 80's as is displayed by the cars shown, the characters in this show would have grown up with helmet laws in place therefore the characters would be likely to abide by the laws regarding helmet use. The only scene where a character is shown prominently wearing a helmet is one where the helmet clearly served it's purpose, he was injured not dead after suffering a head meets road incident. It is also very much an Americanisation of the series.

There is also a minor quibble that up until the mid-late 80's Harley's were not the bike of choice of the 1%ers it was generally heavily modified UJM's or British bikes.

Within seconds of the start there was this attempt at a Scottish accent. It travelled from Berlin to Springfield & got nowhere near Scotland.

More often than not you get English actors trying to do a Scottish accent and their attempts travel all round Scotland, hitting Ireland on the way, with occasional dips back into England & it's painful to listen to for a native. But! This was really bad. I don't think it hit anywhere in Scotland. Nowhere I've heard of.

Remember! Scotland is a nation with different regions & different accents. There is not a generic Scottish accent. There is a posh kid, trying to be English, Scottish accent that has developed in the past 20 years & there is the Morningside posh, trying to be English, accent, but if you want to do an accent from Scotland & you're not Scottish, pick a place or go posh.

I couldn't get past the bad accent.

The characters arent even believable as bikers, especially the guy who plays Cesar, that guy looks like a short fat women with a wig and fake beard. I guess it's hard for feminine men to try and play tough manly men. What a waste of time!!!

Great series and the massacre upon which this was based was a tough violent watch! The characterisation of the bikies was good as far as an Aussie series is concerned, coming from someone who is a sons of anarchy fan.
